ABSTRACT
Background : In the elderly, cells decline due to the aging process which can
cause various diseases such as increased uric acid levels. One of the causes of
gout is genetic factors and diet, genetic factors in a person with gout usually start
from a purine metabolism disorder, causing uric acid in the blood to increase.
There are some gout sufferers who still eat foods high in purines in excessive
amounts such as meat, beans and shrimp. Gout if left untreated will cause
dangerous complications. So for that it is necessary to do prevention by increasing
knowledge about gout, prevention and proper treatment. Objective : To be able to
apply family nursing care to gout clients in the work area of the Bandongan
Health Center, Magelang Regency. Methods : The method used in this research is
descriptive method and data collection using interview, observation, and
document review techniques. Results : After 3 days of nursing care, the results
showed that the client experienced an increase in knowledge about gout and the
client was able to practice non-pharmacological therapy (warm compresses) to
deal with pain properly. Conclusion : Knowledge about gout, prevention and
appropriate treatment in the family has changed after nursing care has been
carried out.
